Sharp's service remembered

On April 16, Tom Sharp, who served on the Metro Council 1966-1991, passed away. Tom represented the very essence of dedicated public service without demanding fanfare. He had an uncomplicated love of Nashville and desire for the well-being of all people.

I was teaching at Peabody College during his tenure and helping prepare students for careers in education. I asked Tom about any opportunities for students to spend time with Council members and even become involved in local policy discussions. He became actively involved himself in working with these students, many of whom are now teaching our children and grandchildren in schools across the nation.

This is a gift of service that is now multiplied every time a student has the kind of positive insight into government service that Tom Sharp, and his colleagues, provided in a very selfless way.
